When that mysterious billionaire benefactor I’ve been waiting for since my freshman year eventually knocks on my door and says, “Karen! Let me fund your beauty-loving lifestyle!” I’m going to stockpile hundreds of these pens and keep them in a special climate-controlled underground makeup lair.

African Violet is THE purple polish I wear whenever I need to bring my A game. It’s like my comic book super serum, and it looks magnificent on toes (especially when they’re submerged in a five-star resort’s swimming pool).

Tom Ford plays fragrance notes like a concert pianist. If you like scents that go far beyond simply sweet fruity florals, do your nose a favor and take it to a Tom Ford counter.

7. The unabashedly sexy and fabulous makeup looks…

Tom Ford Lips & Boys (that contour, OMG!)

Sometimes the fearless, brazen looks in the brand’s advertising make me want to don a silk jumpsuit, platform heels, smokey eyes, glazed cherry lips and drive to the post office on a Thursday afternoon.

It took me a while to fully appreciate these Cream Colors, but now I’m utterly committed. Great for glossy lids, these lightweight mousse cream eyeshadows last so freaking long it’s ridiculous, and they can also be used as bases for powder eyeshadows.

OK, it’s not the most dazzling Tom Ford lip color, but it’s the one I wear most. Sable Smoke is one of the smoothest, easiest nude lipsticks I’ve ever used, and my tube is almost always within a few feet of me.

So far, 23 people have commented on this article. How cool is that?

I swear, half the awesome makeup that I have is because of you 🙂 Now I really, really want anything Tom Ford! His makeup is pricey, though. With his stuff and Hourglass, I have to figure out what I REALLY want. You look awesome in all the pics!

Reasons one and two. That editorial print add with the green mascara and teal and purple and blue. *le sigh* So friggin’ artistic. I follow a girl on the tube who swears by that eyeliner. It’d take a lot of my Girl Scout cookie budget to save up for one of those 🙂

That African Violet nail polish is very pretty! And the finish is so glossy and smooth. I’m guessing that you didn’t have any problems applying it, with that price tag. It looks more luxurious than Chanel nail polishes. But I must resist the temptation. Lol!Alyssa Melanie recently posted … Chanel La Petillante 49 Rouge Allure Velvet

It takes a little will power, but I can pass up on quite a few things. But not Tom Ford. I swear I have to have every limited edition he puts out. I wish I hadn’t missed out on some of the earlier cream colors, Escapade in particular. I had to get a bottle of African Violet this past week after seeing it on your nails so many times.
I’ve looked every where, but can’t seem to find the Spring 2015 online yet. With the rain this weekend, I doubt I’ll be driving to The City.

Seriously Karen! Every time you show us a little Tom Ford my wallet cries because I always end up going straight to the website to nab some of his goodies! And now I’m on my way to check out the spring collection. That blue shadow in the unabashed makes me hate myself now for not getting it 🙁

My heart flutters just looking at the TF packaging. Forget about seeing what’s inside! I’ve only tried the volumizing mascara but I really need that brow pencil. 🙂 It’s only a matter of time with the lipsticks, too.

Oh Karen!!! It’s not good for me to see TF… makes me wanna get them like RIGHT NOW! I probably will try the lipstick. Just concerned that if Sable Smoke will be too pale for me?? Or do you have other colors to recommend? I’m NC35.
Thanks!!!
btw, the liner is super expensive. Does it dry out in the tube??

I should not have seen post at all.. Will be having sleepless nights now 😛 ..

Tomford makeup is drool worthy but its not good for my wallet.. That eye liner pen and eye an face palette looks like must have.. And lipsticks shouldn’t be missed either.. Ahhhh !! I want them all :-*Poo@beautyandmakeupmatters recently posted … 5 Best Dressed Celebrities at Filmfare Awards 2015

This post is way too harmful for my eyes 😀 I have so resisted the Eye and Cheek Compact in Pink Glow from the 2015 Soleil collection but don’t know for how long I can succeed…just look at that Cognac Sable eye quad and those lippies…sigh! Must possess! You have created an excellent look too…gorgeous! BTW Karen, where did you get that bracelet you are wearing in the #4 nail lacquer pic? I think I saw you wear it in another [post too and wanted to ask…it is super duper gorgeous!
